“You fell for him so fast you faked your death for him?
Then where’s my son?”
His eyes burned crimson, fingers crushing her wrist.
Maureen felt bones threaten to splinter.
But compared to the agony of him taking Steven away someday, this pain was nothing.
“Didn’t I already say it?
It’s gone.”
Maureen took a deep breath and replied hoarsely: “Do you remember the second time you touched me?
I was already pregnant then, and it was you, you killed him with your
own hands.”
Maureen admitted she was despicable; she hoped Geoffrey would feel guilty and return the child to her.
Geoffrey’s eyes were filled with shock.
“Say that again?”
Geoffrey was now completely irrational.

He flipped her onto the bed and pinned her down.
“What are you doing?”
Watching Geoffrey grow increasingly crazed, Maureen was on edge.
Geoffrey’s voice was icy: “Do you think I’d believe the words of a
woman who lies habitually?”
Maureen’s tears gushed out.
She had just thought Geoffrey might have a shred of conscience, but now she realized he had none.
“I hate you.”
Geoffrey paused for a moment, but didn’t stop.
Maureen struggled and resisted.
Geoffrey sneered: “What, Gareth can touch you, but I can’t?
We are legally married.”
Maureen stopped struggling and stared blankly at the ceiling.
“When have you ever admitted that I am your wife?”
“Geoffrey, I think you are truly cruel…”
Geoffrey listened to her accusation, his large hand gently resting on her cheek as he lowered his voice.
“Since you chose to run away, why come back?

And why deliberately invest in Sutton Group’s projects?”
Maureen didn’t know how much time had passed. All she heard was a buzzing noise, and she felt warm blood trickling from her ear.
Geoffrey’s fingers brushed against something sticky. Looking down, he saw Maureen’s right ear stained crimson.
“Damn it!”
He immediately scooped Maureen up and rushed to the underground
garage.
He drove straight to the hospital.
Maureen couldn’t understand his sudden urgency or their destination, only noticing an eerie stillness surrounding them.
“Geoffrey, where are you taking me?”
Before Geoffrey could answer, Maureen lost consciousness.
Late night.
Hospital.
After examining Maureen and reviewing her medical history, the doctor confirmed it was a chronic condition.
They stopped the bleeding and prescribed medication.
Later, the doctor informed Geoffrey: “Excessive movement likely triggered this. Her ear structure differs from normal, making it prone to bleeding.”

After the doctor left, Geoffrey returned to the ward, seemingly calmer.
Maureen lay on the hospital bed, unnaturally pale and lifeless.
Geoffrey approached step by step.
“You had a relapse. Why didn’t you tell me?”
Maureen didn’t answer, dully turning her head with hollow eyes. “Geoffrey, where’s Ethan?”
“I told you, he’s somewhere safe. As long as you stay put at Pearl, he
won’t be harmed.”
Geoffrey didn’t look much better himself. His fever had broken; but his cold hadn’t improved, leaving his throat dry and scratchy.
Maureen lowered her lashes at his words. “I don’t understand. Don’t you dislike me? Why insist I remain at Pearl?”
Geoffrey’s deep pupils glimmered with unfathomable intensity. “Because you owe me!”
Not just because the Ramirez Family orchestrated that deceitful marriage.
There was also the faked death!
And all those years living abroad with Gareth!
Maureen’s eyes clouded with pain: “You knew all along that I wasn’t
involved.”
“But you were one of the beneficiaries, weren’t you?”

Geoffrey’s voice tightened with suppressed anger.
What infuriated him was how Maureen only acknowledged owing him for the sham marriage.
Not a word about the faked death, or Gareth, or that child.
Maureen fell silent.
After a prolonged stillness, Geoffrey stepped onto the balcony alone and lit another cigarette.
The cold wind triggered his coughing fit. Unnoticed, his eyes reddened, stinging with heat.
He didn’t know why he chose this way to keep Maureen.
Maybe it was resentment.
Resentment that after searching for her for years, she’d been with
another man.
Resentment that the girl who loved him for over a decade suddenly stopped–and chose to leave.
Geoffrey still remembered how effortlessly Maureen walked away when she first asked for divorce.
Back then, he never believed she’d truly let go.
Only now did he understand: she wasn’t making a scene. Her departure was deliberate, long–planned.
Thinking of this, Geoffrey stubbed out his cigarette and reentered the

room, a chill surrounding him.
“Let’s go home.”
Going home…
Maureen felt lost. Did she even have a home?
They got in the car.
Geoffrey drove, coughing nonstop.
Maureen ignored it, watching the rain slide down the window.
If you really don’t love someone, maybe this indifference is what it looks like.
Geoffrey looked in the rearview mirror at her cold face, and a pang of pain gripped his heart.
After a night of turmoil, Maureen rested in her old room.
